HC Deb 17 May 1905 vol 146 cc618-9
MR. SOARES (Devonshire, Barnstaple)

I beg to ask the hon. Member for the New Forest whether he will consent to withdraw his notice of Motion relating to the increasing number of accidents occasioned by motor-cars, in order that this matter may be fully discussed by this House.

MR. SCOTT-MONTAGU

I understand that the Vote for the Local Government Board is going to be put down for an early day, Thursday week or fortnight, and the day previous to its being taken I shall be glad to withdraw my Motion.

MR. SOARES

Do I understand that the hon. Gentleman wishes a full discussion as to the administration of the law as well as to the necessity for new legislation?

MR. SCOTT-MONTAGU

I am perfectly in accord with the hon. Gentleman in wishing for a full discussion of the matter.
